My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Thank you so much! The perimeter counters are made of zinc. It is a much more porous material than stainless steel. They call it a "living metal" because it is constantly changing. It takes on lots of spots, etc., so if you are fussy, these aren't for you! Looking back, I wish I had gone with stainless steel. Good luck!
